runtime: be very careful with bad pointer tests

Saw this on a test:

runtime: bad pointer in frame runtime_test.testSetPanicOnFault at 0xc20801c6b0: 0xfff
fatal error: bad pointer!

runtime stack:
...
copystack(0xc2081bf7a0, 0x1000)
        /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/stack.c:621 +0x173 fp=0xfffffd7ffd5ffee0 sp=0xfffffd7ffd5ffe20

This test is testing bad pointers.  It loads the bad pointer into a pointer variable,
but before it gets a chance to dereference it, calls convT2E.  That call causes a stack copy,
which exposes that live but bad pointer variable.
